Product details
Overview
GBJ15005-F from Diodes Incorporated is a 15A standard recovery bridge rectifier in GBJ package, rated for 50V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.05V max forward voltage at 7.5A, and 10µA max reverse leakage at 25°C. It features glass-passivated die construction, 1500VRMS case dielectric strength, and 240A peak surge capability-used in AC/DC power supplies for industrial control panels.
For engineers reviewing the GBJ15005-F datasheet, GBJ15005-F pinout, GBJ15005-F application, or GBJ15005-F equivalent, key selection factors include VRRM margin for line-voltage transients, thermal resistance (0.8°C/W junction-to-case), IFSM rating for inrush tolerance, and UL recognition for safety-critical board-level designs.
Technical Context
This single-phase full-wave bridge rectifier integrates four silicon diodes in a common cathode/anode configuration with molded plastic encapsulation. Its standard recovery characteristic (trr not specified, consistent with non-fast-recovery design) supports line-frequency (50/60Hz) rectification without commutation-related switching loss concerns.
Designed for through-hole mounting with #6 screw fastening, it delivers 15A average output current when heatsinked to a 300mm × 300mm × 1.6mm copper plate. The 60pF typical junction capacitance minimizes high-frequency noise coupling in low-speed power conversion stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 50 V - Withstands 50V repetitive reverse voltage; suitable for 36VAC RMS input (≈51V peak) with safety margin. |
| IF(AV) | 15 A - Sustains 15A average DC output current with proper heatsinking at TJ ≤ +150°C. |
| VF Max | 1.05 V @ 7.5A - Contributes ≈7.9W conduction loss per half-cycle at full load; impacts thermal design. |
| IR Max | 10 µA @ 25°C - Low leakage preserves efficiency in standby or low-power hold-up circuits. |
| IFSM | 240 A - Handles 8.3ms half-sine surge; supports cold-start inrush into capacitive-input filters. |
| RθJC | 0.8 °C/W - Enables direct thermal path to heatsink; requires mechanical mounting torque ≤5.0 in-lbs. |
| VB | 50 V - Confirmed breakdown voltage at 10µA IR, validating VRRM rating under test conditions. |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| GBU1505 | Same 50V VRRM and 15A IF(AV), but GBU package (smaller footprint, no screw mount) | Lacks integrated mounting hole; requires alternative mechanical retention on PCB | Choose when board space is constrained and heatsinking uses clip or adhesive method |
| W04G | Lower 4A IF(AV), 50V VRRM, DO-15 package; not drop-in electrically or mechanically | Suitable only for <10W applications; cannot replace GBJ15005-F in 15A designs | Select only for prototyping low-power variants where thermal and current margins allow derating |
Compared with GBU1505 and W04G, GBJ15005-F uniquely combines screw-mount mechanical stability, UL recognition, and 15A capacity in a single through-hole package-critical for field-deployed industrial power stages requiring long-term mechanical integrity.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for GBJ15005-F?
The GBJ15005-F has a specified operating junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. Its thermal resistance is 0.8°C/W junction-to-case, so sustained 15A operation requires a heatsink capable of maintaining TJ ≤ +150°C under worst-case ambient and airflow conditions.
Is GBJ15005-F suitable for automotive applications?
GBJ15005-F is not AEC-Q101 qualified. While it operates across -55°C to +150°C, Diodes states that automotive-grade versions require explicit qualification (PPAP, IATF 16949 manufacturing) and must be requested separately-this part is intended for industrial, commercial, and lighting applications.
Does GBJ15005-F have a built-in thermal shutdown feature?
No. As a passive bridge rectifier, GBJ15005-F has no active thermal protection circuitry. Overtemperature protection must be implemented externally via thermistors, thermal fuses, or system-level monitoring of heatsink temperature or output voltage droop.
Can GBJ15005-F be used in high-frequency SMPS input stages?
No. GBJ15005-F is a standard recovery rectifier with no specified reverse recovery time (trr). Its design targets 50/60Hz line-frequency rectification; using it in high-frequency (>20kHz) applications risks excessive switching loss, overheating, and premature failure due to slow carrier recombination.
